Pistol stock spreading tool kit

Abstract

An apparatus is set forth to spread a pistol stock or grip relative to the associated framework of the pistol to permit ease of removal of the associated stock from the pistol framework. The tool includes an elongate rod, including a handle member transversely and integrally mounted to an upper end of the rod, with a head member mounted at a lowermost end of the rod. The head member includes an elongate rectangular cross-sectional member, including arcuate corners spaced from and parallel to the axis of the head longitudinally aligned with the rod. The kit includes a series of further head members selectively mounted to the rod, wherein the head members include a tapered wedge-shaped member including planar sides and arcuate tapering corners, as well as a further wedge-shaped member defined by an elliptical cross-sectional configuration. The tool further includes at least one sleeve member slidably mounted on the head member to provide various cross-sectional configurations for insertion within magazine wells of pistols of various dimensions. The sleeve is formed of a rigid cellular or polymeric material, as are the head and further head members utilized in the kit assemblage.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows: 
     
       1. A pistol stock spreading tool kit for selective insertion within a magazine well of an associated pistol framework, wherein the kit comprises, an elongate longitudinally aligned rigid rod, the rod including a forward terminal end and a rear terminal end, the rear terminal end fixedly mounting a handle orthogonally thereto, the handle fixedly mounted medially of its length to the rear terminal end of the elongate rod, and   a spreader block, wherein the spreader block includes a longitudinally aligned axis, the longitudinally aligned axis coextensively aligned with the elongate rod, and   wherein the spreader block includes a blunt rear face and a blunt forward face, and is defined by planar parallel side walls, the planar parallel side walls joined at arcuate corners, wherein the arcuate corners permit ease of rotation of the spreader block within the pistol stock.   
     
     
       2. A tool kit as set forth in claim 1 wherein the elongate rod includes a plate member orthogonally mounted to the forward terminal end of the elongate rod, and the plate mounted to the rear face of the spreader block. 
     
     
       3. A tool kit as set forth in claim 2 further including an additional spreader block selectively mounted to the plate, the additional spreader block defined by a wedge-shaped configuration, wherein the planar side walls taper forwardly to the forward blunt face, and wherein the forward blunt face is defined by a cross-sectional configuration less than a further cross-sectional configuration defined by the rear blunt face. 
     
     
       4. A tool kit as set forth in claim 3 further including a yet further spreader block, wherein the yet further spreader block is defined by an elliptical cross-sectional configuration, and wherein the yet further spreader block tapers to a reduced forward blunt face from a rear enlarged blunt face selectively mounted to the plate. 
     
     
       5. A tool kit as set forth in claim 4 wherein the spreader block includes a sleeve member selectively mounted overlying the spreader block. 
     
     
       6. A tool kit as set forth in claim 5 wherein the sleeve is defined by an internal cavity, wherein the internal cavity is defined by a predetermined cross-sectional configuration substantially equal to the external cross-sectional configuration of the spreader block. 
     
     
       7. A tool kit as set forth in claim 6 wherein the sleeve includes planar sleeve side walls, and the planar sleeve side walls converge at arcuate sleeve corners.
